Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, (a) how many and (b) what proportion of senior civil service graded posts in his Department classified as (i) deputy director, (ii) assistant director, (iii) team leader and (iv) policy manager have been based outside London in each year since 2014.

Answer

The Scotland Office has no Senior Civil Service roles classified as Assistant Director, Team Leader or Policy Manager.

The Scotland Office had two Deputy Director roles based outside London in 2014 and 2015, and three Deputy Director roles based outside London in 2016. This is equivalent to 40% of its Deputy Director headcount in 2014 and 2015, and 60% in 2016.
